LACAZE v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 14th District (Houston)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
SHARON McCALLY, Justice.
A jury convicted appellant Tyrone La-caze of capital murder, and the court sentenced him to imprisonment for life without parole. Appellant challenges his conviction in four issues. In his first three issues, appellant claims the trial court (1) erred by admitting hearsay testimony, (2) violated his right to confrontation, and (3) made an impermissible comment on the weight of the evidence in the jury charge. Appellant also argues the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction due to a lack of corroboration of an accomplice witness. We affirm.
